A USPS whistleblower has raised concerns about a "rushed and secretive" portal being built to verify mail-in ballots under a mandate from President Trump. The system would require state election officials to upload voter rolls to a federal portal for verification against DHS records before ballots are mailed. While critics warn of potential disenfranchisement and "catastrophic failure," the hosts suggest the technical implementation should be straightforward, potentially involving assistance from Elon Musk.

### Executive Order on Election Integrity and Citizenship

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1750-splesh/chapter/executive-order-on-election-integrity-and-citizenship.md

President Trump signed an executive order requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and prohibiting the counting of mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day. Legal experts and NPR analysts suggest this may be an overreach of presidential authority, as election rules are traditionally decentralized at the state level. Critics argue the move could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters who lack easy access to passports or birth certificates.
